Geneva, July 24. Failing an eleventh-hour surprise in the shape of the appointment of a fifth arbitrator in the Italo- Abyssinian dispute, it is generally assumed that the meeting of the League of Nations Council to consider this threatening situation will be convened on July 31.
It is learned, however, that no agreement has yet been reached between London and Paris regarding the course to be adopted by the Council. The French Government still hopes to confine discussions to the Ualual frontier incidents and possibly by the appoint- ment of a fifth arbitrator on the Italo-Abyssinian Arbitration Committee of four, to secure another post- ponement of the main issue until the end of August.
It is gathered,. however, that Great Britain would be prepared to stage a frank discussion of the whole question and let the Abyssinian appeal to the League take its natural course under Article XV of the Covenant.
